With this second worst headache of my life (that's still going on) I've now developed a dry cough. The last time I had a dry cough for any length of time, it turned out there was a break in the proximal catheter of my ventriculo-peritoneal shunt. With the combination of a headache and a dry cough, if you look at my history I suppose I should be concerned.
However, I'm not. I don't have the sense or feeling of anything poking me from the inside, like Edwin. Thus, all I can think is - to use one of "their" words - all's stable with my shunt. Besides, I'm "One of the Lucky Ones", I seem to hang on to these things far longer than the average of ten years. I'm expecting my "new" shunt placed in 2013, to last 27 1/2 years. Just like the one before it did. I don't believe or expect anything less.
